They will be challenged by Britt EERLAND, Linda CREEMERS and Yana TIMINA The list of favorites for the men’s tournament can almost be as long as the list of participants. The quality of the players is so leveled that anyone can win.

However, there are few to be mentioned: Laurens TROMER, Martin KHATCHANOV, Barry WIJERS, Casper ter LUUN, Ewout OOSTWOUDER en Michel de BOER. But upsets are always unpredictable in Dutch table tennis.
